ASHTABULA TOWNSHIP — Cold temperatures and flames streaming from 734 Knollwood Dr. greeted firefighters Saturday as they arrived on the scene Saturday evening, said Ashtabula Township Assistant Fire Chief Tom Steele.
Firefighters were on the scene for more than an hour and were able to contain the damage to one room and its contents, Steele said. The fire was called in around 8:15 p.m.
